I did a quick four-value sketch
of a painting I’d considered doing.
Then, I mixed up four values of grey
corresponding to the sketch
and quickly applied them to the big shapes.
I wanted to fill the whole canvas,
so I quickly added some color
for the background and sky.
I did this in 20 minutes
12 x 12 oil
I love the immediacy and freshness of this as is,
and I’m glad I stopped at this point.
So now I have the age-old problem.
How do I “finish it” without overworking
and making it too tight?
I’m going to let it sit for a few days
and just look at it.
I’ll keep you posted.
The sketch using copic sketch pens.
